Our Food Journey
My husband and I started researching food ingredients when we figured out our son has a corn allergy. There are so many derivates of corn which makes it hard to find processed food he can have. I had to start making much of our food from scratch. We quickly figured out that the homemade food tasted so much better than the processed food we were used to. People are always asking me for some of the recipes we use, especially our bread recipes, so I thought that this would be a great place to share some of them.
Grams vs. Cups
One thing you'll notice with most, if not all, of my recipes is that I use weight (grams) instead of cups to measure out the ingredients. This gives your recipes consistency because you will always add the same amount of ingredients. You don't have to worry about if you scooped the flour correctly or if the brown sugar needs to be packed or loose, just weigh and go. It also gives you less to clean up in the kitchen. You can pour your ingredients straight into the bowl you're mixing them in until you get to the right weight.
